Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology will be installed in Marco Polo’s offshore wind service vessels, allowing them to be propelled by ammonia fuel. In related news, Amogy’s recently closed Series B funding round will boost commercialisation efforts, and its tugboat retrofit project is on course to hit New York waters later this year.
Yara Clean Ammonia and Enbridge will jointly develop a CCS-based ammonia production facility in Corpus Christi, Texas. Located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Centre, as much as 1.4 million tonnes of ammonia per year will be produced, with Yara expected to act as full offtaker.
KBR has been selected as technology provider for two future production projects in Texas and Washington state. At the Port of Galveston, Texas Green Fuels has begun pre-FEED work and sourcing renewable electricity for its fuels export complex.

A high-profile consortium will conduct a joint study exploring ammonia bunkering at the Port of Savannah in Georgia, USA. The consortium aims to establish a comprehensive supply chain to allow ship-to-ship ammonia bunkering in Savannah, and the study scope includes design of an Ammonia Bunkering Articulated Tug-Barge (AB-ATB) vessel.
The Adams Fork Energy clean ammonia project will produce up to 2.16 million tonnes per year of ammonia, based on gas feedstock and CCS. The project will serve as the anchor for the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub, one of a number of applications being considered by the US Department of Energy for funding as part of a $7 billion jump-start program.
OCI Global will supply clean ammonia to Korea from this year as part of a new agreement with Lotte Fine Chemical. The pair will also develop a global ammonia bunkering network by leveraging their existing infrastructure. Meanwhile, CF Industries and Lotte Chemical will explore new opportunities for clean ammonia production on the US Gulf Coast, as well as long-term off take to South Korea.
